Seymour Cray used a round cabinet design to minimize the wiring distance between any two points in the chassis. Apple's round design is just ... some sort of artsy-trash kind of thing that would look more appropriate in an art show than on a computer user's desk.

And at $3000 (which does not include a keyboard or mouse, and certainly not a monitor) it's probably twice the cost of a non-fruity computer of equal power.

Yes, trashcan like, but on the other hand, is there any microsoft workstation that is beautiful or does not look like something that hosts the hardware that manages an assembly line?

From what I read, you can easily turn this trashcan around in order to reach the ports on the backside, which are lit, too. Comparing that to your usual yoga/digging under the table in the dust routine...

Anyway, haters gonna hate and I wouldn't want to buy a machine in this price class anyway.

I know nobody noticed, but Apple released some new products this week. One
was a smartwatch with ho-hum specs, and the other was a non-Android phone
with a slightly larger screen than their previous non-Android phone.
